Rocks Needed*

... so the war(s) drag on. The local police get more tasers. The State gets more ability to read your private emails and track your movements. What is the point of working? You now fund your own health care. Your pension swirls down the toilet. Corporations and institutions lay off because they can and the remainder workers will press ever harder to make up the loss. Management resents your hourly status. Labor is phased out, teched out and farmed out without concern. The Corporation is a legal person and a sociopath to boot. Adopting corporate thinking in your low level job is dangerous for you and all your co-workers. Where is your lifeline? Your spouse or loved one who will stick by you through and through? Your community? Your faith? Your faith community? Where are you going to put your life when things really become unstuck? Emotional disorders, afflictions that happen to one in two adults over the course of their lives, will rise and have been rising. What side of the divide are your going to be? The solid rock or the puddle of tears? We need more rocks and we need them now. It's time to organize soup kitchens and garden clubs. To reach out a hand and meet your neighbors. To share more of your hard earned wealth if you have it. To work for people instead of profit and that is going to take an enormous shift in values, ethics and programmed thinking. Scrouge McDucks will be vilified, not glorified. Some people have money, some people have work and they will have to be persuaded to share. When leadership does rise from the ashes we must recognize it and support it. To rip it down before it can grow should not be tolerated. Look at a persons' motivations, analyze their direction of thought, be respectful even in criticism and the better nature of humanity will be shown. It's not about money anymore, it's about survival. Puddles of tears will be turned into rocks, thrown or to be leaned on.
